Abstract

When humans exercise, birds fly, fish swim, animals run, and trees sway, we want to know the forces they experience. The calculation of the forces they experience from the surrounding fluid is the realm of fluid dynamics. In this chapter we present the classical theory. In the next chapter we discuss flying and swimming in nature.
